Hi Ladies,
Sounds like everyone had a nice Easter. I went out to dinner with Hallie & her family. Her 11 yr old son was being a brat. He has several issues but I think he’s just a spoiled brat. I don’t tell her that. I had to laugh about the photoshopped pics. Where did he come up with that?

I hope you caught the QF show yesterday. There’s another one this afternoon. I see the Scott brothers are selling indoor/outdoor rugs today, as well as towels, etc. They are characters!
Well, I don’t have much to say today, so I’ll close for now.

Take care.

Hi Gail,
I got an email from the Q showing a set of 3 graduated Butterfly sphere holders from VPH. Item# H 214059. Only in white, for $ 32.80, on 5 easy pays of $6.56 + sh.
Ladies, the Scott Bros will be back on Tues. for an outdoor living day. They’ll have another TSV of a couple indoor/outdoor rugs, so they’ll be on through out the day. Everything Scott Living will be on easy pay.
Sue, yes I do have to sign in if I haven’t been on for a few days or so. It’s aggravating for sure!!! I’m sorry you’re having such bad weather. They were right the rain did clear out & the sun is out today. I wish I could send it your way.
Colleen, that curio cabinet sounds like something I’d love to have. I could put my Temptations, & my knick knacks in it. I hope everything turns out fine between you & your siblings. Sometimes dividing property between siblings ends up badly. Hopefully not in your case.
Adele, thanks for cluing me in on what purple sugar is. And the pizza, or meat pie.
Take care, & have a great Easter, everyone!!!
dd & Jewell

Hi Ladies,
I hope this finds everyone doing fine. It was a dreary rainy day today. It started out nice, but the rain came in. They keep saying it’ll clear out overnight & we’ll be in for a dry nice Easter weekend. No heatwaves but nice.
Adele, I saw your pics, sorry everything didn’t turn out, but I can relate to that. I read your FB post, & I’ve never heard of purple sugar. Where do you find it? And the pizza you made. I guess it’s an East coast thing. Or maybe I just have my head in the sand!

That thug should be put UNDER THE JAIL, & save the taxpayers a lot of $$!!! Or throw him off a bldg.!! I know that’d be tooo easy.

I fixed the chicken tonight along with 2 of the sides I got from the Q. I got those little cheesecakes from David’s cookies, in the chocolate flavor & they are DELICIOUS!! It’s hard not to eat just one a day!!

I’m glad everyone enjoys those posts I send from FB or Instagram. I figure they’d cheer ya up!!

Speaking of the hosts, did you see Dan Wheeler on Gourmet holiday last week? He’s been on before pitching stuffed chicken breasts. He was on with Marybeth. There’s a new host overnight (your time), Terri Conn. I knew she looked familiar but couldn’t think of where. Turns out she used to be on my fave soap As the World Turns for several yrs ago. They have so many new hosts overnight I can’t keep em straight. Just when I get used to some of em, they bring in some more. I miss a lot of them due to their schedules & mine. I’m sound asleep when they’re on. lol
Have a great Easter weekend!!!

Hi Colleen,
You should be getting the cake any day now. I got my notices my orders have shipped out. You might have received it already. Mine was dated for shipment as the week of 4/15.
I’m glad you kept some of your mom’s decorations. I understand all too well about the packing/unpacking, but for other reasons.
I’m going out to dinner for Easter. Hallie texted me this morning inviting me to go to Shari’s with them on Sunday. That way neither of us has to cook!!!

I heard they’ve raised a billion $$ for the restoration of Notre Dame cathedral. And they’re pretty sure it was an accident. It’ll never be the same.

Well, I don’t have anything else so I guess I better get busy.
Take care & have a wonderful Easter

Hi Ladies,
BREAKING NEWS ALERT: The Scott Brothers kick off their Wed. TSV tonight. I don’t know what it is yet, but they’ll be on all day tomorrow through out the day. Just thought I better let everyone know. I’ve never watched their TV show, but I’ve heard about it. They are a couple of characters.
I can’t wait to see that new show tonight. Looks hilarious!!! Imagine being afraid of that cow. LOL.
Well, not much going on here. Overcast skies, but no big downpours. Thurs. is supposed to be 70+. We might even squeak out a nice Easter weekend.

If I don’t get back on here, I hope everyone has a Blessed Easter holiday & have a great time with your families.

Hi Ladies,
Adele, Where have you been girl??? The Scott bros. have been on the Q several times!!! Jonathan & Drew have been on for summer decorating, holiday, even a TSV or two along the way. One of the first things I got from QF was a kitty sweater (what a surprise). IT had those little tinkle bells sewn on. I got several pieces that had the button covers from yrs ago. I kept a few, but they were taking up room so I gave em to a lady who was more crafty than I am & she made em into magnets for people. At least they were useful.
I think you’ll enjoy the cake. They keep bringing it back & they keep selling out. The next one up will be the patriotic, red, white, & blue. I’m getting their version of a mini cheesecake in chocolate. It’s 3 layers & looks delish.
Oh this morning as I was getting ready for the ballgame, I heard a band & choir somewhere nearby. Turned out the church next door had their choir, band, & congregation walk around the block. I don’t remember them doing that before.
The Blazers won the game, by the skin of their teeth!! It was a real nail biter down the stretch.
Well, that’s all I have for today.
Have a great week everyone.

Hi Ladies,
Well, another lazy Sat. afternoon out here. It was raining pretty hard this morning but quit now. They say the rain/showers will last thru mid-week, then it’s supposed to warm up. By next weekend we’re supposed to be 70 or so. Sounds like we might have a nice Easter Sunday.
I know what you mean about the chocolate. It’s my fave food group, lol.
I have some of the Quacker shirts I bought yrs ago. Do you remember the corduroy shirts they used to sell back in the 90s, I think. I still have a couple of them but they’re coming apart at the collar. I have the royal blue with jars of canned fruit or jelly, & blue with butterflies. I used to have the sweaters with butterflies in pink & yellow till I out grew em. That was a looong time ago. I kept my Christmas sweaters, I couldn’t part with em. Do you remember the tops & sweaters with the Easter themes? Bunnies, tulips, chicks, flowers? I never was able to get any. I love the lavender, pink & yellow shades they used to have.
Well, I guess that’s all I have for today. I have a basketball game tomorrow with Diane. It’s a playoff game with the Trailblazers & the OKC Thunder. It’ll be on national TV tomorrow afternoon.
Take care.

Hi Ladies,
I started a post last night but lost it so I shut down. Adele, I hope you got your blood sugar under control. That’s not a good thing. Oh the cake looks awfully good on tv. five layers of cake & weighs 5-6 lbs. I think they said it serves up to 20 people. I’d get one but I can’t eat that big cake. They have auto delivery now that it’s so popular. They started out with the 4th of July patriotic one, now they have spring, fall, & Christmas cakes. I got the frozen cookie dough last fall & they were great!! Ya know if it isn’t what you thought it would be you can get your $ back. I got a batch of those meltaway cookies from Jimmy the baker a couple yrs ago & they were terrible!! I called customer service & they refunded my $. And no I didn’t return them.
Colleen, I hope everything goes well when you clean out your mom’s home. Keep something of hers that makes you smile/happy. You could give some of it to a charity organization that helps women affected by domestic violence or the homeless. They didn’t exist back when my mom passed so we ended up giving most of her things to Goodwill, or we divided it amongst us kids.

I have some bad news, we’re getting more storms this weekend. Another soggy weekend. I’m sorry. We had a dry day today, so that helped the rivers recede. Just last month they were talking about how low some of them were & we are in for a drought. They had to open some of the dams to relieve some of the pressure of all that rain. I’m not in any danger from the flooding. I hope you’ll all be safe.
Well, that’s all for tonight.
Take care.

Hi Ladies,
I hope this finds everyone doing fine. I hope you’re not caught in that awful blizzard I heard about. You can blame us for it. It’s the same storm we had last weekend & it made its way East. But we’re not out of the woods either. There’s awful flooding happening as I write this throughout the state. The river that flows thru Portland is overflowing all over the place. The worst is down where I grew up & lived most of my life. One of the major highways down there is totally flooded. They showed a jet boat actually speeding around the area of the flooding. Stupid is as stupid does. The worst is yet to come tho. More rain is on the way before we finely get a break. They were talking about how low some of the resevouirs are, but they aren’t low now. They had to open some of the dams to release the overflow of the rivers & streams elsewhere in the state. We’re making up for the lack of rain all those months during the winter months. Feast or famine as they say.
How is your shoulder doing Adele? My sciatica is still giving me fits. I tried the ice pack but to no avail.
Glad to hear I;m not the only one who gets bored with the Q. I’m not a fan of all the makeup, a lot of the fashion, or jewelry. I did see Temptations are back with new things. Overpriced, but beautiful colors. I don’t need anymore but the patterns/colors this time of yr are so pretty. My faves are Oceanfetti,
Summer(shells), firework, fireworkfetti. sigh.
Jewell’s doing better. Gets me up then sleeps all day. LOL.
I’m glad the warning about lilies came thru messenger. It also applies to poinsettias at Christmas, & holly berries.

Sue,
I’m sorry about not having anyone you could turn to. I was in the same situation. It’s really hard on a person. I knew from early on I was on my own if I got into any trouble. Never did luckily. If I did they’d say it was my fault, even if it wasn’t.
Glad you found a good hairdresser, & got your commode fixed.

I saw that cake on Gourmet holiday, it’s from David’s cookies , (not David V). They came out with the 5 layer cake for the 4th of July, last yr I think? then the holidays, it looks delish!!! They say you can’t taste the food coloring in the layers, just the vanilla cake. I bought some of their cookies last fall for the holidays. Sooooo goooood!!! I love the chocolate chunk one especially.
Well, I guess that’s all for today.
Take care & stay safe!!
